This three-bedroom townhouse is located in Estepona, in the Bel Air area of the New Golden Mile, within a gated residential community. The property offers 127 m² of living space across three levels, with two bathrooms, a guest WC, a private garden and two rooftop terraces, one with partial sea views. The beach at Playa de Estepona lies roughly 500 metres away, and a supermarket, pharmacy and sports facilities are within walking distance. The townhouse forms part of an urban setting with communal gardens and a swimming pool. Marbella is approximately 25 km away and Málaga Airport is reachable by road in under an hour.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an established residential urbanisation on the New Golden Mile, west of Estepona town centre. The nearest beach is around 500 metres away, with La Rada beach under a kilometre distant. A supermarket is roughly 100 metres away and a pharmacy 240 metres. The setting is urban with pavements, nearby bus stops and cycling access to most daily amenities.
The house is configured for year-round living: three bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a guest WC, a fitted kitchen area with utility room, storage, air conditioning for hot and cold use, and double glazing. Front and rear gardens and two rooftop terraces provide outdoor space on multiple levels. Private gated parking is included within the community.
This is not a new-build development. The townhouse dates from 1970 and is described as being in good condition, ready for immediate occupation. Buyers should expect an older building fabric with subsequent renovations rather than modern construction standards or a developer warranty. No construction-phase risk applies, but technical survey of the original structure is standard practice for this age of property.
The property does not offer a private pool (communal pool only), private sea views throughout (partial sea view from one rooftop terrace only), or underfloor heating. There is no mention of an energy performance certificate rating, lift, or en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom. The building dates from 1970, so it does not meet current new-build thermal regulations by default.

This property fits a buyer seeking a move-in-ready townhouse in a walkable coastal setting, without waiting for a construction phase. It suits households that prioritise outdoor space, a front and rear garden plus two rooftop terraces, over new-build specification. It may suit retirees or part-year residents who want amenities, beach and healthcare within walking distance, as the hospital is 1.1 km away and a pharmacy 240 metres. Families can note six schools within a two-kilometre radius. Buyers intending to generate rental income may find the permitted short-term rental status relevant, provided they verify current municipal licensing with their legal adviser. It fits less well for buyers wanting a private pool, full sea views, en-suite bathrooms or a contemporary thermal performance standard; a 1970 building with later modernisation will not match 2020s insulation and glazing norms by default, and the community pool replaces a private one. Buyers reliant on lifts or single-level living should note the three-storey layout without internal lift. For those comparing against new-build prices in the same municipality, the resale price per square metre here is higher than several nearby starting prices, so the purchase case rests on the gardens, terraces, immediate availability and location rather than price per metre alone.
The property is listed in good condition with modern interior finishes, double-glazed windows and air conditioning providing both hot and cold climate control. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms, and the house includes a utility room and a separate storage room. The guest WC is additional to the two full bathrooms. The images show a garden dining area, a living-dining room with patio views, and a communal pool with palm trees and lawn, indicating maintained communal areas. Because the building dates from 1970, the underlying structure, plumbing, electrics and roof construction predate current regulations; any renovations are not specified in the available data, so buyers should commission a technical survey to establish the state of the wiring, damp-proofing, and roof terraces, items that carry real cost in buildings of this age. No energy performance certificate rating is provided in the dataset; for a 1970 townhouse with double glazing and air conditioning added, energy performance will typically fall below new-build standards unless insulation work has been carried out. The rooftop terraces and waterproofing layers deserve particular inspection given their age and exposure. Buyers valuing the outdoor space should also confirm the boundary, easement and maintenance responsibilities of the front and rear gardens with the community administrator.
The asking price is €429,995 for a completed, immediately available three-bedroom townhouse of 127 m², equating to roughly €3,386 per m² of built area. This sits above nearby new-build comparables such as Etherna Homes 1 (from €304,000), Aby Middle (from €349,000) and Celestia Homes (from €390,000), though those figures are starting prices and the property here includes gardens, two rooftop terraces and an established setting. As a resale, the price reflects location, outdoor space and condition rather than developer pricing. Short-term rentals are reported as permitted in this community, which is a relevant variable for buyers considering rental use.
Daily life at this property revolves around a walkable coastal routine. The supermarket is about 100 metres away, meaning grocery shopping does not require a car, and the pharmacy sits roughly 240 metres from the door. Mornings can plausibly involve a short walk to Playa de Estepona or La Rada, both within a kilometre, before returning to work or household tasks. The house itself is arranged over three levels: living and dining space opening to a covered terrace and garden, bedrooms above, and two rooftop terraces used for sun exposure and outdoor dining. The south orientation means the main outdoor spaces receive sun through the middle of the day. The communal pool and gardens function as an extension of the private garden during warmer months. The surrounding urbanisation has 50 restaurants, 22 cafés and 18 pharmacies within a two-kilometre radius, plus six schools, which indicates year-round residential occupancy rather than a purely seasonal holiday zone. Two municipal sports centres sit within 600 metres. Practical errands, banking, healthcare, sports, are concentrated within walking or short driving distance. Estepona town centre and its marina are under two kilometres away, adding a full range of services, and the hospital is roughly 1.1 km from the property. A car remains useful for golf courses and Marbella, but is not required for daily needs.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with urban convenience. Within a two-kilometre radius the area counts 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, four banks, two parks and six schools, alongside 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools at the municipal level. Two public sports centres, Polideportivo Municipal and Centro Deportivo José Ramón de la Morena, are within 600 metres, and the Better Bodies gym is 300 metres away. Estepona's marina area and Puerto Deportivo lie 1.6 to 1.8 km away. Public transport comprises eight bus lines with 50 stops, which is substantial for a town of this size and supports car-free living for local trips. The town has a permanent population of roughly 79,600, meaning services operate year-round rather than only in the tourist season. Tourism infrastructure (24 hotels) exists but does not dominate this residential street pattern. The surroundings are flat, the slope to the beach is about 2.4%, which makes walking and cycling realistic for daily errands. The urbanisation is bounded by the A-7 coast road network, giving access to Marbella in 25 km and Algeciras in 42 km.
The map shows the property's position in the Bel Air area on Estepona's New Golden Mile, west of the town centre. Key reference points include Playa de Estepona at just over 500 metres, the supermarket and pharmacy within 250 metres, and La Rada beach and the marina under two kilometres to the east. Golf courses and Marbella lie to the north and east along the A-7.

Estepona records roughly 3,848 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.2°C, with averages ranging between 15°C and 25°C across the year. The swimming season, when sea temperature reaches 20°C or more, runs approximately five months. The town lies at low elevation, around 19 m above sea level near the coast, and the terrain to the beach is essentially flat at a 2.4% slope. Inland, the municipality rises into the Sierra Bermeja, peaking at Los Reales at 1,449 m, which is visible from parts of town and offers cooler mountain walking within a short drive. The combination of a flat coastal strip and a mountain backdrop defines the local climate: warm sea air with limited frost risk, and afternoon heat in July and August that the air conditioning addresses.

Within Estepona, this property competes both with new-build developments and with the resale stock of established urbanisations on the New Golden Mile. Nearby new-build comparables include Etherna Homes 1 (from €304,000), Aby Middle (from €349,000) and Celestia Homes (from €390,000). Those are starting prices, typically for apartments or smaller units, and do not include the private gardens and dual rooftop terraces offered here. At €429,995 for 127 m², this townhouse prices at roughly €3,386 per m², above the per-metre entry point of the new-build comparables, which reflects the outdoor space, the established gated setting and immediate availability rather than construction age. The trade-off is structural: a 1970 building will generally have lower thermal performance than post-2020 construction built under current CTE regulations, though it will not carry the delivery risk or community maturation phase of an off-plan project. Locationally, the Bel Air position, 500 m from the beach, 100 m from a supermarket, flat terrain, eight bus lines and 50 stops in town, is a stronger walkability profile than most new developments on Estepona's western and inland edge, which tend to sit 2–5 km from the coast. Against Marbella 25 km east, Estepona offers a lower price level per square metre and a smaller-town scale, while retaining comparable sunshine hours and beach access. Buyers comparing rental yields may note the reported short-term rental permission, which many newer communities restrict; verification of the current licence is a necessary step. The municipal market recorded 3,163 transactions, indicating liquidity relative to smaller coastal towns.
